Sierra Space Is About To Begin Full-Scale LIFE Habitat Testing....

💕 Thanks for watching my video 💕

When trying to build space stations, the cost and size of the structure is a major limiting factor. Launch vehicles are limited in how big of an object they can fit within their fairings and if you need multiple missions to assemble the structure, it will be very expensive. Sierra Space is trying to solve this with an inflatable habitat named LIFE.

LIFE stands for Large Integrated Flexible Environment and can expand to 27 feet or 8.2 meters when fully inflated. For months now we have watched pressure tests on smaller test articles to ensure it can withstand the space environment. However, the company just announced that they are about to test a full-scale system for the first time. Specifically, next month in December, at the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, they will push the unit to its limits.

The test will consist of continually pressurizing the inflatable until it bursts, gathering data on its exact limits and constraints. Here I will go more in-depth into this upcoming test, why it’s so significant, the future of inflatable habitats, and more.
